Hewlett Packard site gives a backdoor.sdbot virus. When we downloaded from the site, it was noted by Norton, but the virus corrupted the hard drive. HP said, sorry, there is nothing we can do....Norton said sorry, back doors are the worse, we will see if we can give a solution. We have had to totally rebuild the puter, not once (because I did not realize this was the virus) but twice as I was stupid enough to go back to the site and download drivers for my printer, only to get it again....Beware of the HP Site for Downloads.....

Confused as to HOW this could happen??

Did you "RUN THIS PROGRAM FROM..." or did you "SAVE TO HD?"

If SAVE TO HD, did you run v-scan before executing??
